Fun with Flax

I think that this was probably one of the coolest things I have made in a while. Who know that you could make an egg replacer from flax seeds. I do have to say that it does slightly resemble that thing from the movie "Flubber." It does work though, I made banana bread later that day and I think it was probably the tastiest loaf that I have made to date. I think that flax seed egg replacer will be a staple in my baking for now on.

After this cool experiment I decided to try another recipe that called for ground flax seed. The kids and I made a batch of raw cookies. Well, ours were semi raw since I didn't have raw carob chips or agave (I used regular chocolate chips and maple syrup). We mashed all of the ingredients together and rolled them into little balls. They were a little hesitant to try them, but the four of us managed to eat them all up by that evening and they have been asking for more ever since.

About Me

I am a stay at home and homeschooling mom to 4 beautiful children, Zola 10, Ajay 8 and my two little nurslings are Taj 4 and Peylyn 3. I try my hardest to create a very holistic environment for my family and right now I am completely obsessed with 2 new passions...preparing traditional foods and fermenting! Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon turned this vegetarian of 14 years into a meat eater. On top of all of this I love to knit, sew and explore the world with my kids.
